I find much of LAX to be tight. With a 744 on taxiway B parallel to runway 25R-07L, it looks like your wingtip is protruding beyond the hold short line for the runway.

One day we were on this route and there were some workers between B and parallel taxiway C who were scrambling to get out of the way as we approached.

The normal exit for 24R is AA to cross 24L while an aircraft is rolling just after you cross. Tower does not give any further taxi instructions.

You are switched over to ground and want to contact them soon as you have don't know if you will be told to do an immediate left onto E or proceed straight ahead but ground may be busy.

In order to clear the runway with your tail, you have to go quite far and then may not be able to turn left onto E if ground asks you to do so, so some people slow down and are slow to have their tail clear the runway.
